Domain Marketing – Profiting

You can make serious (?) money from domain selling. You can make money from buying and then selling domains too (flipping) but lets just focus on buying fresh domains and selling them for profits. This is a great way to earn money so you could invest into other ventures and businesses. To be an advance seller in the domain market you should be able to analyze the domain you are eyeing and estimate its value. Here is a basic rundown of what I’d do to maximize the profit(s) from a cheap investment.

I recommend registering domains at namecheap. It’s cheap and you get free whois guard (I’ve seen a member asking about this so I’d just pop it in here). You can register anywhere you like. Big company domains sell! How much do you think you could’ve made if you had registered and sold paypal.org? I bet you a fortune! This approach is almost guaranteed a healthy ROI. Go company-hunting to find a good company domain to register with a different extension (you can’t register with the original extension because it’s not available, don’t waste time). Marketers give crap about the extension (if they’re smart), I bet you didn’t know that if you had registered a domain with just ‘paypal’ it in no matter the extension, you installed a forum and an auto-poster, and set-out for some back-links you might-have been the number one result for ‘paypal’? It works that way and smart marketers know that (paypal is a static site comprised of stiff pages, forums update with content). So you can hunt and utilize findings for this mean also.

For example, there is an avail domain for ‘squidoo’, the big orange company. At namecheap an avail is listed, “squidoo.nu”. That could actually profit you, handsomely. All you have to do is search for companies and match their domains for availability with the extensions offered, or more. There is at-least one smart marketer on the prowl at sedo a-day, so that’s a guaranteed deal. If you don’t know where to start your marketing business/ventures, then this is a great start. It doesn’t require the generic essentials of an online business i.e. content. There are a lot of “niches” this can be tasted with. If you don’t make any money from domains selling why not compete with the original company? You have that potential just by being on the same level of domain-ship with that company. Of course you should analyze every aspect of the niche/site/business. You can’t compete with a huge company like Squidoo; they have hundreds, thousands (?) of original user content. You can compete with Paypal (funny?) if you stand on a same-level domain-ship with them, even if its paypal.bullshit then there’s potent in there.

You can run forums and sites from the same level domain-ship as that company you’re revolving around (monetizing?) example, you can do this with the copeac domain, just state you are in “no way” affiliated with that company and don’t use any trademarks. I’m not a legal expert so seek legal documents about that, I know it’s legal. Of-course you can monetize copeac with the referral system. Wouldn’t if feel mighty just sitting on the domain-level as copeac? I dare you to try it with a forum, copeac is a stiff website and only goes so far in the content, a forum could easily over-took it in rankings (or at-least I think?). I am good at search engine optimization and think I’m least onto something here.

Sell your domain(s) on Sedo and make the money, just go to Sedo.com and see the crappy (s) domains being sold for those unbelievable prices, you could do better. You don’t even have to charge much just get a decent ROI. The basic idea is big-company and monetizing equals huge potential. -=enjoy
